Mr- Th&ddens Stevens at a
. Discount.
The distinguished gentlemen, who
has so long led the extreme radicals of
Congress, seem* to have lost his au
thority and influence with that party.
Beaten in his own State, in a race lor
the Benatorship, he finds himself now
in a minority in the United States
House of Representatives. This must
be exceedingly mortifying to the gen
tleman from Pennsylvania; but it is
exceedingly gratifying to the patriotic
conservative people of the whole country.
It is, in effect, the very best evidence
that the people of the North are begin'
ning to realise the evil effects of harsh
measures, and are willing to be guided
by more patriotic and harmonising
influences in the future thnu they have
been in the past. Surely, this must be
gratifying to every one who desires to
see our. National difficulties settled, and
peace’ and prosperity restored to the
Whole-Union.
On bis attempt to force his reconstruc
tion \»ill through the House, Hr. Bing
ham moved to refer it to the Committee
on Reconstruction. Mr. Steveus pro
tested and expostulated ; but in vain,
saying that its reference would be equiv
alert to killing it, Mr. Bingham de
sired that the House should decide that
question. And the bill was referred.
Mr. Stevens is correct. His bill is,
bv this reference, effectually killed; and
why? Because the Reconstruction
Committee is not working and has not
beeu since the commencement of the
present session of Cougress, which is
evidence sufficient that nothing is to be
done in that line by that Committee. As
well might Mr. Stevens' bill have been
“consigned to the tomb of all the Capu
lets” at mice.
Having thus discarded Mr. Stevens’
leadership and Mr. Stevens’ policy, the
question arises who will assume his
place, and what will he the next policy ?
Mr. Julian says that he desires to
keep the Sonth out ot representation in
Congress indefinitely) This would be
much more acceptable to the South,
than*wou!d be some of the Constitn
tional Amendments, Enabling Acts,
Hiid Territorial]jjation Schemes, which
have been suggested. Still, it would
be better to have the difficulties settled
effectually and promptly. The country
cannot afford «to wait—the North no
more’than the South. Every branch ol
agriculture, commerce, and industry, is
paralyzed by distracted state of our
political admits ; and to relieve these of
their embarrassments and hindrances,
and again on the high road
to prosperity, is a duty-of. the highest
impcrtance. Now, that Mr. . Stevens
and his policy are out of the way, let
the Conservative Republicans, the bem
ocrats, and the President,. unite upon
some definite and moderate policy,
which will settle all political, difficulties
and unite the sections once more. Doing
this, they wiH acquire a proud fame,
and sfedure the admiration and grati
tude of their patriotic fellow country
men.
The Culture of Cotton.
In a multitude of counsels there is
said to be wisdom—but the variety of
opinions in reference to the true plant
ing policy of the South seems to lead
rathe* to confnsion and general distrust
One argument is that in Cotton alone
rests our hope of recuperation; while
others with equal zeal declare that it
wonld be wise for the South to abandon
Cotton altogether. The truly wise poli
cy no doubt lies between these two ex
tremes. We are among those who be
lieve that while.we should rely upon
Cotton as ear main source of revenue,
we should at the same time raise our
own provisions. It may be true, that
with a favorable Cotton year we can
make more money by raising that sta
ple, and buying our corn, floor and ba
con. It is also true that in doing this
we unduly exhaust our lands, and take
away very largely of their value and
future capacity for prolitable culture. It
is also true —as the experience of thou
sands in all portions of the South is now
bearing testimony—that if our Cotton
crop fails, and we raise no grain or meat,
we are poor indeed.
The uncertainty of procuring an ade
quate supply of labor for the culture of
Cotton is'an additional argument against
overcropping in that staple to the
neglect of thp granary uqd meat house.
Freed men will work. 1 at any other crop
more readily than Cotton. They shrink
before the continuous toil of the Cotton
field; and white iiiusc-le shrinks from it
also. Therefore, with onjr present sys
tem of labor, it is manitestly the true
policy to let the first concern bo to raise
food eirongh for man-and beast, and
then raise jW a* much Cotton a* pujti
bl*. We are not of those who fear that
the crop of the Squib can soon be
made to exceed the urgent neede of
commerce. But we oo» not eat Cotton,
and we have no assurance of such a
harvest as will afford surplus means
with which to buy the staff of life.
Columns might be written in support
of the suggestions thus hurriedly thrown
out; but It appear* to us that to state
them i* to prove their application to the
preednt need* of the country.
LETTER FROM MARIETTA.
Country View of the SI,OOO Bono*.
k'irnA Word* from the Interior.
Marietta, Ga« Job. 27, 1867.
Editor Daily JVvm.—Your sub
scribers outside your city have been
somewhat interested in the manner in
which yo* have been treated by yoer
editorial brethren in the recent affair of
the telegraphic reports. We cannot say
that we rightly understood all the points
in dispute until your expiation in your
paper of the 20th inst; perhaps we do
•ot understand them now, but one thing
is plain enough, you have been com
pelled to pay one thousand dollars for
nothing—without the slightest consider
ation in return, and under compulsion.
The payment was as much compul
sory as though you had been saluted
with “Stand and deliver—yonr money
or your life!’’ for in these days the life
of a daily newspaper depends upon ite
furnishing to its subscribers the latest
news, only attainable by telegraph. This
is so well known, even by those outside
the editorial profession, that when, fbr
receiving those reports, there is imposed
upon a paper a condition which is, or is
supposed to be. impossible of perform
ance, all understand that it amounts to
an attempt upon the life of the paper.
Your neighbors possibly thought that
they had your lile in their power, and
according to the laws ot war, as ex
pounded by Butler in New Orleans, it
was generosity to spare your life at tha
expense of your spoons. They certainly
come up to the scriptural definition of
good neighborhood, though in a per
verted sense, “As ye would that others
should do unto you, do ye also by
them,” for they did “do” you as yon
were “done" by them.
We cannot see, with the lights before
us, upon what possible ground the
exaction was justified, except as a pun
ishment upon you for patrouizing an
other shop where telegraphic news had
been sold. When we country people,
allow a neighbor to draw water from
opr spring, if we should think fit to
charge him at any time for the privilege,
it would never enter our beads once to
make him pay for the water, we and
our family had used out of the spring
for years perhaps belore he comineuced
using it. But this seems to be the prin
ciple your neighbors act on ; they not
only make you pay for what you are to
get, but for what they have got before
you commenced drawing from the same
source. Suppose your paper had been
just established, and before the first
nomber was printed you had applied lor
ihe telegraphic reports, according to
their rule you would not only have to
pay for the dispatches you would have
to receive in future, but also for those
they had received and had the benefit
of in the past, and which perhaps you
never saw. The justice of such a pro
ceeding is incomprehensible.
The readiness and promptitude with
which yoa were able so quickly to an
swer so large a draft apon the resources
of the Diir.r Press, will give your
patrons assarance of the stability and
prosperity of your paper, if they needed
any evidence to that effect beyond the
indisputable fact that it has attained a
larger circulation than any paper in
Augusta, and you ought to be proud
that you are able to contribute a portion
of your “spoons” to the support of your
brethren. “If thy brother hunger, feed
him, if he thirst give him drink.” You
have done so, and, doubtless, your fra
ternal love and Christian charity will
meet its reward.
You seem to appeal solely to the
good people of Augusta to support you
against persecution. Let me tell you
that the “good people’’ of the country
are just as ready to revolt against any
thing which wears the appearance of
an attempt to “crush out.”. Your
already great and rapidly increasing
circulation in the country is an evidence
that the Daily Press is appreciated,
aud, besides, I *we cannot now afford to
pay ten dollars for a paper, when we
can get j ast as good for Jive. There
fore you 'heed not doubt that the re
wards which attend energy, enterprise,
and industry, will soon be yours.
Kiokee.
The Cretan Insurrection. The
Cretan insurrection, which was lately
reported to be virtually st an end, has
suddenly assumed an nnoxpected impor
tance, and seems in some danger of dis
turbing the harmony of Europe, by
drawing Grdefce into a war with Turkey.
A conference of European powers is
talked of, but it is not likely that any
thing will deter the Turkish authorities
from putting down the rebellion in
Crete. : It is a question whether, in case
of war witli Greece, Russia would inter
fere against Torkey; bnt there is evi' (
dently some sympathy felt in Russia for
the insurrectionists, as evinced by the
presence of the Czar and members of
the Imperial Court at a ball given in
St. Petorsbnrg for their benefit. Off
the other hand, would be likdlf
to oppose Russia in any aggressive
movements hgainst’ Turkey, fearing to
lose her interests in the Mediterraneans
England would probably hold aloof]! 1
while Italy would, if Bhe interfered at
all, naturally become the ally of Greece.
P. W. Alexander, who wrote the pop
ular “P. W, A.” letters during the war,
has located in Columbus in the practice
of law.
Latt«n from an Ex-Rebel, to
Hon. Horace Greeley and Rev.
Henry Ward Baaoher.
NUMBER 11.
8 IRS : In my first letter I promised to
endeavor to convince you that when the
“rebel States" laid down their arms,
they abandoned lorever all hope ol sepa
rate independence, and submitted, iu
good faith, to the Federal Government;
and that when they renewed their alle
giance, they meant what they said, and
their subsequent acts have fully illus
trated their sincerity.
Os the hundreds of thousands of Con
federate soldiers who, prior to the 9tl> of
April, 1865, were engaged in making
war against the United States through
out the immense territory lying between
the Potomac and the Rio Grande, with
the exception ot a few who went into
exile, there was not one who had not,
before the end of May, surrendered his
anus and accepted a parole from the
United States military authorities, which
gave him permission “to go to his home
and remain there undisturbed,” on con
dition of not taking up arms against the
United States until properly relieved
from the obligation of his parole.” I
have not heard of one man of any rank,
from the general to the private, who has
not scrupulously fulfilled the promise,
or who has been accused of having done
or said aught which could be tortured
into a violation of his obligation. •
I know, personally, thousands of those
soldiers. I remember their return to
their homes, maimed, wounded, foot
sore, in rags, penniless, and hungry,
and I do not know one who did not
immediately apply himself industriously
to earn an honest livelihood, obey im
plicitly the authority to which he had
submitted, observe the law. Bnd main
tain the public peace. The army con
strued the surrender as a treaty of
peace concluded between the Federal
and Confederate commanders, and they
felt it to be the duty of each man to
observe the stipulations of that treaty in
perfect honor and good faith. They all
believed and acknowledged that they were
again citicens of the United States,
bound by the Constitution and laws,
uud owing and owning allegiance to no
other power.
The unanimity and the promptness of
the surrender, even by large bodies ot
- troops who were not immediately men
aced by any opposing force aud who
could have kept the field aud maintained
their hostile organization long after Lee
and Johnstou had given up their stand
ards, proves that the submission was
universal, honest, and without equivoca
tion, and that when they gave up their
muskets they gave up all hope of the
independence of the Confederate States.
There was no turbulence, there were no
acts of outrage or riot. As regiment
after regiment stacked their arms and
accepted paroles, their members dis
persed to seek home and.peace. Never
in the history of the world was the dis
bandonment of so large a. number of
soldiers so free Iron) every act which
could provoke censure or resentment;
never was there a surrender in which all
show of resistance was so promptly and
completely abandoned. This has been
frequently admitted by your officers and
by many of your public men. 1 may
plead it, therefore, without fear of con
tradiction, and with confidence that can
dor and impartial judgment will allow
that the men who acted thus were sin
cere iu their submission, and not unwor
thy of the confidence of those to whom
they yielded.
It was subsequently required that all
who wished to avail themselves of the
President’s amnesty, and that all of
those who, falling within one or the
other of the excluded classes, sought a
special exercise of executive clemency,
should take the oath of allegiance to
the United States. As soon as this re
quirement was made known, old and
young, male and female, soldier and
civilian, obeyed the order, and “solemnly
swore in presence of Almighty God that
they would henceforth support, protect,
and faithfully defend the Constitution of
the United States, and would in like
manner abide by and faithfully support
all laws and proclamations which have
been made dining the existing rebellion
with reference to the emancipation of
slaves.”
The records of the Department of
State will bear testimony to the unanim
ity with which this oath has been taken.
Where is the record of any department,
court, or official authority which shows
that any one has failed to observe the
letter and spirit of this obligation? Did
the people take the oath reluctantly?
Were they compelled to take it by threats
of punishment, or subjection to disabil
ities ? Was there any class that dis
played stubbornness or unwillingness to
reuew his fealty to the Coustitutiou and
laws ? The same records whose teadithD
uy I have invoked, will furnish full an
swers in the negative to all these ques
tions. And if this be so, may I not
claim that when these people renewed
their alliance they meant what they
said ? Yes, gentlemen, they meant what
they said. They Imd forever abandoned
the hope of separate independence,'and
in renewing their allegiance to the
Government aiid laws whose] yoke thejf
had unsuccessfully struggled to shake
off, they accepted the situation in all Its
parts, and sealed the covenant of peace,
when they pressed with their lips the
iloly Evangelists oi God on which they
swore.
Have they done or said anytliing in
contraventioii ofthe Constitution ? Ravi
jihey not abided by and.fiiilbiully olp-,
served the laws aud proclamations in
reference to the emancipation of slaves ?
Have they showed rustiveness under au*
thority, or disobeyed, of eveu efided'
any law or regulation emanating from
duly’ constituted authority ? ~
When you hear them acapsed of
having acted in bad faith,* that their
■ubmiision is a sham, their oaths per
jury, and their obedience to law a cun
ningly deviled scheme to lull the aua
picions of the North, end induce you to
abate your demand* of security and
mitigate your sentence of punishment,
does not your conscience tell you that
the accusation is false, and do not your
hearts admonish you that crael injustice
is being done ?
They have not professed any affection
for your peop)e r becaase they do not feel
it. They have not professed repentance
for their effort to achieve independence
us for a sin or a crime, because they do
not believe thatlbey were guilty of either.
They have not sought to prove the sin
cerity of their suomission by servile
supplication or appeals to mercy, be
cause their manhood revolts agaiust de
basement, and because they believe that
such voluntary degradation would be the
best proof that they were unworthy if
confidence and the association of honest
men.
If the people of the State of Georgia
had met in mass meeting, "Aid had
resolved and subscribed the resolutions
with thsir names, that their act < f
secession and their subsequent acts o*
war were infamous crimes, which
they repented in sackcloth and ashes ;
that Jefferson Davis is a petjured as
sassin ; Robert E. Lee a faithless
renegade, unworthy of credit on his
oath, aud all their leaders infamous
criminals, worthy of a felon's punish
ment ; that defeat has taught them to
love, with all their hearts, the people
who vanquished them, and that there is
no act of self-abasement they are not
ready to perform to purchase forgive
ness ; that the only honest men in the
State are Morse, and Cole, and Austell;
and that while they acknowledge their
heinous crimes, they plead their present
love to wipe out their offence. Would
you —would any other honest mat) be
lieve suc.l resolutions ? Would you—
could you respect or trust the people
who would sign them as you would
trust them now? But, they
have not cringed, they are “stiff
necked.” Because they have not
bowed to the dust, they are “unsub
dued.” Because they bate not cried,
Miterecordc, they must be “crushed.”
Because they do not turn to caress
those who revile, insult,' 'and wrong
them by every word they niter, they are
“disullected,” and their oaths of loyalty
are peijury.
1 teli yoq,. furthermore, though they
will never (awn to power, or conciliate
the oppressor by servility and di.-siinu
lation, they are as loyal to the Constitu
tion, as obedient to the law, as faithful
to their obligations, as honest, as worthy
of confidence as you ure, and that, at
this moment, there are no truer citizens
of the United States than those of whom
your parly and your people continually
speak as rebels, perjurers, and traitors.
